Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“most pulmonary disorders are going to be related [to] or at least aggravated by the presence of pneumoconiosis,”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage““clinical” or “medical” pneumoconiosis must be distinguished from “legal” pneumoconiosis. Medical pneumoconiosis is “the lung disease caused by the fibrotic reaction of the lung tissue to inhaled dust....” Legal pneumoconiosis, however, is much broader and “refers to all lung diseases which meet the statutory or regulatory definition of being any lung disease which is significantly related to, or substantially aggravated by, dust exposure in coal mine employment.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“challenge medical charges not related to pneumoconiosis.”
